FEMA’s mission is helping people before, during, and after disasters. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Housing Inspectors were in Chevak on Thursday, Oct. 6 to help survivors register for FEMA assistance and perform housing inspections for applicants who experienced damage from the Sept. 15 – 20 severe storms, flooding and landslides.
Teams traveled to Chevak to register survivors for disaster assistance and answer questions about the application process and what happens next. Immediately following registration, housing inspectors will travel to the applicants’ homes to perform a home inspection. Residents should know that FEMA staff will have appropriate federal identification and will never charge for assistance.
If survivors are unable to apply with FEMA specialists working in the field, they can also register by calling 800-621-3362, or visiting disasterassistance.gov.
FEMA is committed to providing equal access to our programs and services without discrimination. Please let staff in the field know if you require an accommodation such as spoken language resources, mobility assistance, or sign language interpreting services. You can also call the Civil Rights Resource line at 833-285-7448 or 800-462-7585 (TTY/TDD) for accommodations or if you feel you have experienced discrimination.
